Convicted sex offender indicted after failing to register following move to Jacksonville

A 44-year-old Jacksonville man has been indicted by a federal grand jury with failing to register as a sex offender after moving from Maryland, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Anthony Vincent Burkitt, also known as Vincent Thomas Wolfe, was convicted in 2002 of attempted second-degree rape in Baltimore, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement sexual offenders database. Burkitt, already in custody on related state charges since his April 13 arrest, now faces up to 10 years in federal prison.

According to the indictment, his last known address was an apartment on Connie Jean Road. He failed to register in Florida as a sex offender as required by the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.
